PRIZEFIGHTER DEBATE: 'SH1T' or a 'HIT'?

I voted '****'.

I was actually quite looking forward to seeing Hide, but even that turned out to be ****. Watching an (unfortunately durable) novice getting his arse kicked by a hugely experienced world title contender did nothing for me to be honest. Then Hide was out and the show effectively ended for me. So I voted '****'.

 

It's okay. I enjoy watching boxing in general so I watch it whenever it comes on. Interesting **** usually goes down.

 

I enjoyed them initially, however feel that they are putting on far to many shows now,1 every 4/5 months would be dead on. Last night was shite tho'

 

its good for getting people to watch boxing again because of the 3 round knock out appel but wot the **** were they thinking putting that quality of fighters on? non of them were in shape including hide. these guys a representing our great sport and they can barley do 3 rounds. people will watch that and think boxings a joke. no wonder mma taking over when theirs boring unfit novice boxing on. i only pay for sky sports to watch fight night but now wots the point? im not getting my moneys worth.

 

I did like it at first but the concept went seriously downhill fast. Firstly putting in a bunch of non punching bore fighters and now having a line up of washed up guys and not prospect prospects.

 

Last nights was **** Losfer but I've enjoyed some of them.

I'd rather have a well matched bout with a good undercard shown in full any day though!!

 

I voted **** because the only reason I would tune in to watch it is to see guys I know a little bit about. Im not interested in watching a Butcher vs a Dustbin man. It gives casual boxing fans a quick fix but when all is said and done its ****in shite.

 

Sums it up quite nicely for me :good

 

I used to think it was ok (really sorry to have upset all the boxing snobs on here ;-)) but I dont like how it's gone now.

I don't think anyone who has done better than Commonwealth level should be allowed in it

 

The concept, as uncool as it might be to say it, is great for what it intends to be. Gets people who sort of like boxing but maybe dont understand or appreciate the technical aspects of the sport. I took my other half to 1 and the boys to last nights none of which give 2 tosses about boxing just out for the night and they got right into it. It works. But...

The gross class difference when you put known bangers at world level like Herbie Hide in with total novices doesnt just go against the whole point of giving people a chance who wouldnt have received it otherwise but its downright dangerous. Major props to the Welsh lad Brooks for lasting the 3 3's last night but its scary to think what if Hide was drawn against that useless defenseless Kahut. Make it all former champs with the prize being a title shot or leave it as up and comers/journeymen for the money.

Also i know £35 dont sound a lot but for the amount of actual rounds you get doesnt match up to your usual York Hall card. With nigh on guaranteed sky t.v Hearn must be getting good money for it im sure that could be cheaper to get more punters at bigger venues ala the last heavyweights

 

I really liked the heavyweight and lightweight ones but not to fussed with the others.

 

Last night was shite, Herbie wasnt interested when he was worried it wasnt a sure thing , and was Darren Corbett within the cruserweight limit ? the only plus was Dickinsons first bout.
The concept is good but is it only going to attract rookies and hasbeens in the last chance saloon

I want to like it because its boxing but the more we have and closer they seem to appear the more I dislike it,perhaps they could spread it over say two weeks with lots more boxers appearing like they do with the darts or snooker,with maybe one weight division every two months?

I still watch it though,there usually is one decent nine minute bout in the show :yep

 

I like it too though invariably with three rounds a single unlucky knockdown means that the faller will probably always lose on points no matter how strongly he comes back. What about 4 x 2 minute rounds ?

 

I misses the crusierweight one but I dont know why everyone has a problem with it.

This ones been great
